From shrimping, fishing and oyster beds to tourism, the people who live there have built their lives around this habitat for centuries.

The scale of the damage is unknown but many fear that this man-made disaster will destroy that way of life.

On Wednesday's Riz Khan show we talk to Noah Hall, the executive director of the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center, and Diane Wilson, author of An Unreasonable Woman: A True Story of Shrimpers, Politicos, Polluters, and the Fight for Seadrift, Texas.

You can join the conversation. Call in with your questions and comments at our live time of 1630 GMT. Repeats will be aired at 2130 GMT, and the next day at 0230 GMT and 1130 GMT.
